Quantifiers
We use quantifiers before countable and uncountable nouns to describe the amount of something.Countable nouns are things that we can count: one book, five books. Uncountable nouns are things that we don't usually count: water NOT one water, five waters.
Index
Countable Uncountable
There are a lot of books. There's a lot of water. There are some books. There's some water. There are a few books. There's a bit of water. There aren't many books. There isn't much water. There are no books. There's no water. There aren't any books. There isn't any water. Are there any books? Is there any water? How many books are there? How much water is there?
Large quantity No particular quantity Small quantity Zero quantity Question
TIP
Be careful with the nouns money, fruit, and furniture. They're all uncountable in English. We can say five euros, ten apples, and six chairs, but NOT five moneys, ten fruits, and six furnitures.

too / not enough
We use too to say something is more than the right amount:There are too many people. There's too much noise. We use not enough to say something is less than the right amount: There isn't enough food for everyone.

Very
We use very before adjectives and adverbs. There is an important difference between very and too:It's too small. / He's driving too slowly. (= I'm complaining about problems.) It's very small. / He's driving very slowly. (= I'm describing situations, not complaining.) We use very much with verbs: I like it very much. NOT I very like it.
